New era, new username (personal username, that is): pyracies


TITLE: 11 Years Later
PAIRING: Jack/Elizabeth, Will/Elizabeth (marriage implied)
RATING: PG-13
SUMMARY: One year after the events in the post-credits scene, thusly, eleven years after the PotC saga. So spoilers? Pretty major ones.



I-III, IV-V, VI, VII, VIII, IX

So, I have this crazy idea, right, that innocence dies the minute you see a big fuckin' crane sitting next to Cinderella's castle. No, seriously, I want to be joking. Imagine it, you're a kid, five, maybe six, and the only thing you wanted in the entire world was to go to Disney World, and you finally get your wish. You've got your mouse ears, your autograph book for the furries (oh yeah, that's what they're doin' on the weekends) to sign, Mom and Dad on each arm, walkin' down Main Street USA, and bam, right there, smack dab in the middle of the Magic frikkin' Kingdom, a crane. A giant monument to everything that is cold, metal reality parked right next to the biggest photo-op in the kingdom of imagination.



You'd think those bastards would close the park if they had remodeling to do, really, that's almost as traumatizing as watching Goofy-turned-roadkill when he met the angry underside of a float. It's the first time you notice how much money Daddy's forkin' over to make the magic happen. It's finally realizing nothing is free, and all of this "live your dreams," bullshit the six foot mouse keeps going on about is really, when you get right down to it, what sells.



Maybe I'm overreacting, but I think I just saw Jasmine come out of the bathroom with a bad case of the sniffles.

So, I had this random username lying around, and since I've seemingly decided to be more prolific lately, I figure it'd be a good place to stash my fiction, as opposed to clogging up my personal journal with it. So this'll be a writing journal, if you will; right now mostly fanfic, but as I get back into the swing of writing steadily (I'm easing back into it after a lonngggg bout with writer's block, and a general lack of motivation), it'll be creative nonfiction, as well. BUT, until such time as that, here's a compilation of everything I've written thus far that I think is worth a damn. Both under the username heroics & 5thofnovember.


heroics era (2004-early 2006):


Of Black Sails & Ivory Towers (I, II, III, IV, V, & VI)


(A semi-series, technically an abandoned work, but it can stand alone, as is. Sparrabeth pairing, obviously, back when I was fond of killing Will to get things rolling.)



Plans


(An island drabble, really only a snapshot; the effects of too much rum on the pirate brain, and the word salad that can sometimes ensue.)



Language


(J/E sexlet. 'Nuff said.)



Flights of Fancy


(Young! Will & Elizabeth memory. A bit about Elizabeth's early fascination, and really just a glimpse into their past, which helps better explain their present motivations.)




5thofnovember era (early 2006-present):


Consequence & it's Epilogue



(Good old fashioned gritty infidelity; Will's reactions included.)



Downfall


(Elizabeth's very old, and remembers Jack in his last moments, as child come to ask for stories. I've been told this one makes people cry.)



Untitled


(I still don't have a title for this. It's partially based on a shot in the AWE trailer. Elizabeth introspection, a J/E island flashback, and the quasi-existential ramifications of a flat world.)


& my current project --


Seven Deadly Sins (I-III, IV, V, VI_1 & VI_2)


(My current W.I.P. A series of unconnected drabbles using each of the seven deadly sins as themes. Most of them are Sparrabeth/have Sparrabeth undertones, but not all of them are direct interaction. "Pride" is in two parts, the second of which I'm currently writing, and after that all that's left is "Wrath".)


If you see anything at all here that interests you, feel free to add me.
